― Tiger Shroff
“As I grew older, I realised that Bruce Lee was an actor first and a martial artist second. If he wasn’t a convincing actor and didn’t have the emotion in his eyes before delivering a kick or a punch, it wouldn’t have made that much of an impact.”
― Tiger Shroff
“I’m anti-social, and I don’t have too many friends. I’m in my own world doing my own things – training in martial arts, dancing, or watching a Michael Jackson video.”
― Tiger Shroff

― Tiger Shroff

― Tiger Shroff

― Tiger Shroff
“In school, I would run away whenever there was trouble, as I would get bullied a lot.”
― Tiger Shroff

― Tiger Shroff
“I admire Hrithik Roshan for his work a lot. He has an edge over others because he is very hard on himself, he’s never complacent, and he’s still not happy with that. How much more perfect can you get than that?”
― Tiger Shroff
“I don’t have that X factor; I have to bank on my skills, be true to my character, and hope to be accepted.”
― Tiger Shroff

― Tiger Shroff
“Hrithik Roshan is my idol both onscreen as well as off screen. I wish that I could become just 50 percent like him.”

“As for Aamir Khan, he keeps raising the standard with every film. For an artist like me or a newcomer like me, we can only look up to that and dream, ‘When will that be us someday?’ There’s so much to learn from him. He is the encyclopedia of acting.”
― Tiger Shroff
“I like superheroes who are very human and underdog. That’s why I relate to my character in ‘A Flying Jatt’: because he is a very normal person and very human. He was very unsure about his super powers; he didn’t know how to use them. He is scared of heights, speed. Especially he is scared of his mom, but he has to listen to her.”
― Tiger Shroff
“Since childhood, I have been a fan of Spider Man because, according to me, he has the maximum humanity; he is very human, very mortal. So he even gets hurt. He has a poor background, but when he wears the costume, he forgets all of that, all the pressures of the society on him.”
― Tiger Shroff
“Since childhood, I wanted to become a superhero. When I do anything in real life, I believe that I am a superhero, like in the way I fight, dance, or jump.”

― Tiger Shroff
“I deliberately try to carry a different perception of myself as opposed to my father’s. I respect my dad and his body of work, but I can’t give him credit for what I am today. As a person, I give my parents full credit; career-wise, no.”
― Tiger Shroff
